Combine all chicken salad ingredients in bowl and mix well. This is a very hot and spicy recipe, but you can reduce the chipotle and jalapeno pepper if you wish. (The pickled jalapeno gives the chicken salad a little of the tartness that we expect with dill pickles in a traditional chicken salad.)

Once mixed, sprinkle garlic powder on the bread or rolls, spray with cooking spray and then toast under the broiler.

Spread chicken salad mixture on the toasted bread, and choose a garnish, if you wish. Try pineapple or peach slices (even better if it's grilled.) The sweetness of the fruit will complement and tame the heat from the peppers. Avocado is also a tasty garnish.

Leanne Maciasluvs2pardyJul 25, 2014Oh, hey, I 4got to post that I made the sandwiches ystrday for lunch. Served them on a Mexican type roll, which I grilled & topped w/the grilled pineapple rings. Def have to have enuff pineapple to cover the whole sandwich, if not more to help curb the heat lol The flavors go so well 2gether! Thnx for the tips Kat :) I bought an avocado ystrday, so I'm gonna try it w/that nxt. My only question is how do grill avocado? I didn't even kno they were grill-able bc they're such a delicate fruit.

So I've gotta ?...I just noticed that when comparing my salad to the pics posted that mine has so much more color than the others! To me its almost like the chipotle/adobe sce wasn't used in those recipes bc the adobe in the kind I use is a vry deep red. Is there another version that I'm not aware of? (plz refer to the pic I shared)
